Ok, so its been a long time since I've felt any big surges of consumer fever...until I broke my CD player. When it comes to maintaining my zen-ness while walking to class, I find I really need the soothing beats of Rob Zombie, Lifehouse, or Janet Jackson to help me show those professors what's what around here. Since I dropped my trusty Sony player for the last time, I've debated on continuing on my luddite trend of avoiding mp3 technology that I've followed ever since the collapse of Napster...or getting with the program and converting all my music into mp3s for an iPod just like every other supertrendy kid around this 'burg. Sounds like a plan, right? Wrong.

Try "too damn expensive". Why do those damn things have to be over a hundred dollars?! Sure, I could get just a regular Sony mp3 player that doesnt have the catchy looks of an iPod, but I really do like the design and the efficiency of carrying around all my music in something the size of my palm (or smaller!).

Its not logical. Its not reasonable. It's not even affordable. But the craving is driving me CRAZY!!!

*shakes her fists at the heavens* CURSE YOU, APPLE!!!

(In other randomness, if Puff could be converted into an iPod, she could be an iPuff!)</P
